Craig Levein is ‘confident’ striker Uche Ikpeazu will be fit for the William Hill Scottish Cup final after coming off with a tight hamstring in the 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock.

Hearts fans would have been concerned as the big striker sat himself down and signalled to the bench he needed to come off shortly after half-time.

Levein however, who’s side lost to a late strike from Killie centre back Stuart Findlay, revealed it was a case of taking no chances after Ikpeazu had decided to see how it went for five minutes after getting a rub down at half-time.
